Pet care experience

Best Friend to Furry Little Beasts

As a child, I had such a reputation for animal rescue, stray dogs and cats would be anonymously dropped off in my driveway for me to find. I’ve had dogs and ferrets myself, and have pet sit for dogs, cats, exotic birds and turtles, snakes, lizards, various small furry creatures, and once, a tarantula. I travel too much to have a pet now, so I’m hoping to host some furry friends when I’m in DC.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment, so small or medium dogs would be best. There’s a dog park nearby that we could visit at a time for socialization with other dogs, or when it’s empty for solo exercise, depending on the needs of the particular dog.

Christina for the win! She was able to take my last-minute booking to look after my cat. Was happy to know my kitty was in kind hands.

Christina was great with my dog who has separation anxiety. Super communicative and punctual! Would definitely leave Gimlet with her again!

Christina was able to dog sit for me at the last minute and I am forever grateful! I am picky about sitters and Christina was a complete pro, I would recommend her. Super communicative, respectful house guest, and most importantly she kept Titus very happy while we were away.

Schedule

I typically work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I also live next to the dog park, and can take dogs to play there throughout the day.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Christina can host up to 1 pet per night
In addition to whatever special needs or unusual behaviors I can expect from a dog, I like to ask about typical food and drink intake, since that can change if a doggy is stressed.
